Hawker's Poor man's commentary

Deuteronomy 31:27-30

The melancholy prediction of the man of GOD, which we have lived to see fulfilled, so long and so awful as it is, in the dispersion of the Jews, would be enough to overpower the mind of every serious and truly awakened soul, were we not comforted with the assurance the HOLY GHOST hath given concerning their recovery. It is the cry of every faithful believer, Oh! that the deliverer may arise, to turn away ungodliness from Jacob! LORD! call home thy banished ones. Romans 11:26.
